At the peak of his career, Garnett was as good as anyone at the power forward spot, including the recently retired Tim Duncan.

A 15-time All-Star, Garnett made the All-NBA team nine times, four times as a first-team selection.

Garnett posted his best numbers during the 2003-04 season, scoring 24.2 points and grabbing 13.9 rebounds while blocking 2.2 shots per game en route to winning league MVP honours and leading the Timberwolves to the Western Conference Finals.

But his best performance came in the 2007-08 season when he left Minnesota and joined the Boston Celtics to team up with Ray Allen and Paul Pierce to end the franchise’s 21-year NBA title drought.
